OK, with a reluctant agreement, I've changed the version to 14.


[patch] sched: remove lb_stopbalance counter

Remove scheduler stats lb_stopbalance counter. This counter can be
calculated by: lb_balanced - lb_nobusyg - lb_nobusyq.  There is no
need to create gazillion counters while we can derive the value.

not a big issue but it costs nothing to go to version 14 - OTOH if any 
utility has been updated to version 13 and is forgotten about, it might 
break spuriously if we again go to 13 in the future.

Really?  sched-decrease-number-of-load-balances.patch has not yet hit the
mainline and I think it's in -mm for only a couple of weeks.  I'm trying

[-mm patch] sched remove lb_stopbalance counter

2006-12-05 Thread Chen, Kenneth W
Regarding to sched-decrease-number-of-load-balances.patch currently
in -mm tree: I would like to revert the change on adding lb_stopbalance
counter.  This count can be calculated by: lb_balanced - lb_nobusyg -
lb_nobusyq.  There is no need to create gazillion counters while we
can derive the value.  I'm more of against changing sched-stat format
unless it is absolutely necessary as all user land tool parsing
/proc/schedstat needs to be updated and it's a real pain trying to keep
multiple versions of it.

not a big issue but it costs nothing to go to version 14 - OTOH if any 
utility has been updated to version 13 and is forgotten about, it might 
break spuriously if we again go to 13 in the future.
